Thoughts and pictures of my local minor league baseball team the New York Penn League Connecticut Tigers; a Detriot farm team. We'll still be looking at former Navigators/Defenders players along the way....

Petition denied, Defs lose again 1-0 to Thunder...

just add one to all the game stats below. Matt Carson, AGAIN, for the straight night hits a solo homer for the only run of the game. Carson also threw out Eugenio Velez at home (the Dave Mac tradition of runners thrown out at home continues under Shane Turner) trying to score on a John Bowker single. Bowker's hit and a total of three hits by Velez were the only hits the Defs could manage tonight. Geno was the hard luck loser. Carson's homer was a bomb to dead center.

Misc fan notes: Missed the fan fest out front; heard it was good. The crowd of 4344 pushed attendance to the highest season total since the last Yankee year in 2002.

Is this defined as redundant, redundancy, continuing mediocrity, or just G.. D... awful?

While sending Velez home was very questionable, if the 2nd baseman hadn't cut off the throw from the outfield, instead of a two bagger, he would have been out at 2nd on his hit.

It's the same old story for the year, get decent pitchind and the O goes into hiding, get some hitting and the pitching stinks.
